OPERATION

TO INSTALL / REMOVE BATTERY PACK
See Figure 3.
Always remove battery pack from your tool when you are
assembling parts, making adjustments, cleaning, or when
not in use. Removing battery pack will prevent accidental
starting that could cause serious personal injury.
To install:
 Insert the battery pack into the product as shown.
Make sure the latches on each side of the battery pack
snap in place and the battery pack is fully seated and
secure in the battery port before beginning operation.
Failure to securely seat the battery pack could cause the
battery pack to fall out, resulting in serious personal injury.
NOTICE:
When placing battery pack in the tool, be sure raised rib
on battery pack aligns with the bottom of the tool and
latches into place properly. Improper installation of the
battery pack can cause damage to internal components.
To remove:
 Depress the latches on the battery pack and remove from
the blower.
Battery tools are always in operating condition. Therefore,
switch should always be in the OFF position when not in
